I just tried to remotely watch something from work (on iPhone on Wifi) from my Roamio at home. I could see the shows but when I tried to Watch it said some options aren't available, connect to your local wifi network that the Tivo is on. I wonder if it makes a difference that I use TWC. They've always had everything blocked.

They said they use a proxy so I assume your Roamio/Stream tells the proxy your public IP address when it calls home. They said they are working on a way to do manual port forwarding instead, but it's not yet active.

I assume the setup at home is a way to verify that the device is allowed to access the Stream. Without it anyone could log into your network using your TiVo email/password and download recordings, delete recordings, edit your SPs, etc...

So at the moment, streaming on an iPad OUTSIDE of my home network from a Premiere is still a no-go?
If and when it ever is possible, would a service like DynDns.org be used?

It shouldn't be necessary... Unless the cable companies come up with some schemes to block this. TiVo machines stay in contact with the central TiVo service, so they probably have their own (or use another) service on your behalf.

They wouldn't launch this as a public feature if it required all kinds of manual proxy and port forward setup. (I hope)

It sholdn't have to do setup again. One thing when I setup my iPhone the first time it didn't show the OOH option. I had to manually go through setup again, at home, and that time it showed the OOH option and allowed me to set it up properly.
